No. We need Tennessee to be a strong win.

I think people on this board don't understand what looks good to the committee. A bunch of above average wins isn't impressive. Do we want a win over a Top 20 RPI team, or to make our loss against Ole Miss go from a loss to a 100 RPI team to a loss to a 90 RPI team?

At this point you need things in your favor. Ole Miss loss is going to look not so great no matter what we do. So if they beat Tennessee, Tennessee may drop above 20 in the RPI. Why would we want that? We want Tennessee to be a Top 20 RPI win. If they lose to us and Ole Miss, they won't be that.

We need to be thinking about what's best for us. Ole Miss and Vandy aren't good. Those losses look bad no matter what happens. We want our wins to look as good as possible at this point because no matter what Ole Miss and Vandy do, those will be bad losses.
